About this position

The Department of Chinese Studies in the Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies at the University of Tübingen is seeking a pre-doctoral researcher to undertake a PhD research project in Chinese Studies/Sinology. The position offers an opportunity to develop a research profile focused on China or Greater China, particularly across historical and interdisciplinary approaches.

The doctoral research may engage with areas such as social and cultural history, environmental history, the history of medicine, the history of knowledge, global history, or the history of science and technology. Digital humanities is also identified as a possible area of interest. The role is especially suited to researchers with strong preparation in modern and classical Chinese and an interest in examining China from the tenth to twentieth century.

Alongside the PhD project, the researcher will contribute to teaching in the Sinology/Chinese Studies programme, including university classes and seminars in Classical Chinese. The role also involves supporting the administration and organisation of the Department of Chinese Studies, including student counselling, teaching organisation, and other departmental activities.

The researcher will join a department within the Faculty of Humanities and work in an international research and teaching environment. The position is based at the University of Tübingen in Germany and is intended to begin as soon as possible, with the stated target start date of May 1, 2027.
